The setting of a movie can be equally important as a plot. Often we don't notice the backdrop of the scenes, focusing only on the actors. There are times when the location a movie is set becomes an important part of the movie, especially when it's either too vast like the landscapes of Pandora in Avatar; or too small, like the movies we talk about here. While some movies spend lavishly on set locations, other humble films are shot in limited locations, even a single room. Mostly taking place in a single room, these movies range from intriguing thrillers to bizarre experiences.

Exam (2009)

This British thriller is based on an absurd premise having an exam for a position like no other.

There's violence, suspense, and drama – all taking place in one room.

Reilly, Carnage will be an emotional rollercoaster for you as well as the characters in the movie.
